New 2026 Honda HR-V EX-L

The 2026 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD is the luxury-oriented flagship of Honda's subcompact SUV lineup. Built on the same global platform as the Civic, it offers a more refined ride and a significantly more premium interior than typical entries in the subcompact segment, making it an ideal choice for urban commuters who want a small footprint without sacrificing high-end features. Powered by a 2.0L i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine delivering 158hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System comes standard, providing proactive power distribution to the rear wheels during acceleration or when front-wheel slip is detected. The EX-L trim distinguishes itself with a focus on comfort and high-tech convenience, featuring perforated leather-trimmed seats with heated front buckets and an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat. New for 2026, ambient footwell lighting and dynamic climate control illumination are included for a more modern cabin feel. A standard 9-inch color touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a wireless phone charger. The HR-V delivers an EPA-estimated 25 city / 30 highway / 27 combined MPG.
